Sushi...kind of

In the mood for sushi, but maybe you don't want to spend money eating out? Or perhaps you don't like all the mess when making it yourself? Well I have the best recipe ever!!!!

 I started making this at home when we used to have Korean home-stay children living with us. It's quick, easy, inexpensive and if I do say so myself, really delicious. All you need is a few packs of roasted seaweed ( I get them at my produce market) some sticky rice...or even regular rice that you cook with too much water so it goes sticky.Who would of thought there was a use for improperly cooked rice LOL! Just a few other ingredients and you're done. Quick and easy homemade sushi...who would have thought? See the full recipe below:

several packs             roasted seaweed                           
2c                                    cooked sticky rice

1 tin                              tuna or salmon
1/4                                red pepper (finely diced)
1                                     spring onion (finely sliced)
1tsp                              sesame oil and sesame seeds
1                                    clove of garlic (crushed)
1                                    small piece of ginger (crushed)
2tsp                              soy sauce
2tsp                              hot sauce (optional)
1                                    small handful of chopped cilantro

Set the seaweed and rice aside. Mix all the other ingredients together in a bowl and stir.

Now serve and let everyone make their own sushi cones. Simply pick up a sheet of seaweed, add a spoonful of rice, then some tuna and fold like a taco or into a cone and eat. That's it just keep eating them as you make them. It's really a fun social way to eat...my kids love these when they have friends over!

* Tip- Left over rice works great for this dish...just add a little extra water and rewarm in the microwave. It will quickly become sticky rice.

*Tip- To crush the ginger I simply put a small piece in my garlic press...works like a charm!
